Gift Wrapping and Cards

Wrapping Tips: Check out this article to inspire creative wrapping and packaging.

Check with your waste hauler to see if wrapping paper and cards can be recycled in your community. Often, if it is free of foil or plastic coatings, it can be included in your recycling.

Greeting cards can be sent to St Jude's Recycled Card Program at:

100 St. Jude's Street

Boulder City, NV 89005

Children assemble new cards out of the old ones.

Christmas Light Recycling

Do you have strands of non-working Christmas lights in your garage? Greener World in Carson City, Schnitzer Steel in Reno and Champion Recycling in Las Vegas will take strands of old Christmas lights for recycling and even pay you for them. Check with other scrap metal dealers in your area to see if they recycle Christmas lights.

Christmas Trees

Communities throughout Nevada
offer annual Christmas tree collections. These trees are usually mulched,
resulting in a product that can be reused in local parks.

No flocked trees. Remove all
decorations.
